Brush Up Watercolor

Ready to elevate your botanical watercolor paintings? Join celebrated artist Laura Call Gastinger for an intensive two-day workshop at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. You'll dive into essential techniques like color mixing with limited palettes, proper brush loading, dry brush work, and precise brush control. The class focuses on achieving crisp, clean edges and washes while developing accurate textures and a full range of values in your work. Using fall specimens like nuts and simple leaves as inspiration, you'll refine your skills under expert guidance. This intermediate-level class is designed for those enrolled in the Botanical Illustration Certificate Program and runs from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. over two days. Registration is required through the Garden's website. Cost is $218 for members and $273 for non-members, with the class providing 10 hours of elective credit toward the certificate program. The Garden welcomes learners of all abilities and encourages anyone needing accessibility accommodations to reach out directly to ensure a comfortable experience.
